thanks for all your help but ran system restore and that seemed to get rid of it. I don't think Nancy Drew games are really going to work that well on Windows 7 and I do not like window 7 but am stuck with it thanks for your help guys/gals as usual you are all good. gja

One thing I've noticed with certain programs is that even though you've selected "uninstall," they will throw you into an initial "install" window. However, when you continue on, there is an option to repair or remove the program.
